With a focus on the young explorers, the Greenland 2009 expedition aims to make contributions to the development of personal values and beliefs and relationships with others, the environment and the world. Young people will be guided and supported to undertake significant scientific work and challenging journeys in a remote and wild landscape to achieve these aims.

BSES run overseas expeditions for 16-23 year olds to some of the most remote regions on Earth. To find out more go to http://www.bses.org.uk/

Most of the expedition is back!

Most of the Greenland 2009 expedition are now back in the UK! We returned on Saturday morning after a long travel including a night sleeping in a school in Iceland (thanks to the Hagaskoli). The end of the expedition included the northern lights while bivvying in Narsarsuaq which was a treat.

The rear party have had a busy couple of days in Nanortalik packing up the container and wrapping up the expedition. they are now on their way back to the UK and will return tomorrow (Wednesday).

Most of us are tired and catching up on sleep, many are enjoying gastronomic delights and we are all adjusting to being back in the UK. Difficult things to adjust to include choice of food, not sleeping on the floor, cars and lots of people!

Thanks to all who have supported the BSES Greenland 2009 expedition. We will be posting more pictures and news in due course.
